Whether you need to keep your bedroom consistently cool or want to alternate between what rooms in your house get a temperature drop, there are plenty of appliances to choose from online. It's important to pay attention to the BTU of each air conditioner as it'll help determine how much energy it uses to remove heat from spaces. Some units fit easily into your window, others can be rolled in and out of rooms wherever you need.

The cream of the crop in terms of window units is the GE Profile, currently on sale in its 8,100 BTU version at Amazon for $349, 21% off the typical $439 list price. The Wi-Fi-enabled Profile is the best window AC unit we've ever tested after we noted how it reduced our 340-square-foot test area’s temperature by 10°F in only 43 minutes and lowered the room’s humidity by 14% in the same amount of time. While that may sound like a Herculean effort, the Profile does it in a surprisingly quiet and effortless way.
If you need something that you can move around easily, there's the Whynter Elite, on sale at Amazon for $499, down 17% from the original $600 price tag. Our pick for the best portable air conditioner, the 12,000 BTU Whynter Elite cooled an 81°F room by about 20°F in a remarkably fast 20 minutes. It also has the best filter system of any portable unit we tested and was easy to use.
